I was wondering which way you sewers prefer to do the velcro on the under belly of the bodice on a dogs dress. Now that I have had a chance to buy from a lot of different seamstresses LOL I have formed some strong opinions.
1. I like a slim line (narrow type) underbelly especially for clothes to be worn in the summer, Lola gets hot easily so the less fabric the better
2. I like the velcro to run horizontally under the belly because it seems to give the most adjustment for the best fit
I order a fair amount from Bella's Prissy Puppie her stuff is well made and her prices especially her specials are really really good. The last four dresses she made for Lola were swimming on her, so I thought she made them larger, but measuring them against past dresses from her I found they were the same. I then took Lola to get weighed thinking she lost weight, but she was the same weight as when we started buying from her. Low and behold I figured out why last night and can't believe I did not catch this sooner, she changed from running her velcro horizontally to vertically. This small change made the last four dresses unwearable for Lola
I am not sure why she made this change, since the amount of velcro she uses seems about the same. I sent her an email letting her know that I am mailing her the dresses so she can make the change. I was very nice about it and I hope I don't seem unreasonable.
Some others of your order from her, has this change affected the way your dogs clothes fit?
